Rockets center Greg Smith said he would be “good to go” with a stomach virus, but he was clearly suffering and is more likely to be available if needed than in the Rockets’ rotation.

In each of the past four postseasons, just one player who played in all 82 of his team’s regular season games missed playoff games. Atlanta’s Josh Smith (2012), Los Angeles’ Metta World Peace (2011), Denver’s Nene and Los Angeles’ Derek Fisher (2010) missed playoff games after playing every regular season game.

Had Lin been unable to play, Saturday’s game would have had two players out after playing every regular season game. Lin has not missed a game this season. Russell Westbrook had never missed a game in his career before suffering a knee injury on Wednesday. Westbrook is out for the remainder of the postseason.
